[Overview of Service Enhancement]
With 'Smart Application', applicant information such as name, address, workplace, and emergency contact details can be directly shared with rent guarantee companies, enabling simple and rapid submission of review requests.
Previously, real estate agencies had to exchange handwritten application forms via fax or mail, leading to time-consuming verification processes. By enabling direct data transmission through 'Smart Application', operational burdens and costs are reduced, and the lead time from application to review initiation is significantly shortened.
[Background of Service Expansion]
According to a survey conducted by At Home in April 2024 among its nationwide franchisees engaged in rental brokerage and management, 69.8% reported using rent guarantee companies in over 80% of rental transactions.
Currently, many real estate companies still rely on fax or mail to communicate with rent guarantee companies. As usage increases, so does the workload and operational burden on real estate agencies. Additionally, postal rate hikes since October 2024 have increased mailing costs. To address these challenges and reduce operational burdens while accelerating tenant screening, At Home has been expanding connections with rent guarantee companies since the launch of 'Smart Application'.
[About the Online Rental Application System 'Smart Application']
'Smart Application' is a service provided by At Home that enables online rental applications by simply filling out required information in a dedicated form.

Franchisees have reported improved efficiency in application handling and data management, as well as enhanced convenience.
